fire and providing survivors with basic necessities. He served with a road-cutting party near Penetanguishene in the spring of 1815. Dunlop subsequently wrote a book about his war-time experience in Canada, entitled Recollections of the American War of 1812–1814. The Canada Company In 1826, Dunlop moved to Upper Canada to work with John Galt and the Canada Company, settling in Goderich. The Canada Company had received a grant of management and settlement for the Huron Tract, a large tract of land to the south-west of Lake Huron. Galt, a Scottish novelist, had been appointed the director of the Company's affairs. Galt in turn appointed Dunlop as Warden of the Company's Woods and Forests by of the Canada Company. The position involved inspecting the company lands in the Huron Tract along the eastern shore of Lake Huron to protect them and the selection of land to be sold to settlers from Europe for profit. This position put Tiger Dunlop as second-in-command to Galt of the Company in Canada. In 1829, Galt was recalled to England and dismissed for mismanagement, particularly incompetent bookkeeping. As was the custom of the day, positions such as that held by Dunlop were personal appointments; he was in some danger of losing his position, but managed to keep it. In 1833 he was appointed the General Superintendent of the Huron Tract. It was at this time that Dunlop published Statistical Sketches of Upper Canada to encourage young people to come to Canada. Dunlop was present at the founding of Guelph, Ontario, the company headquarters for the Canada Company, and built his home north of Goderich. A historic plaque in that city commemorates his assisting John Galt in helping to populate the Huron Tract. The Company's achievement was later called "the most important single attempt at settlement in Canadian history". Dunlop left the Canada Company in 1838 because he refused to cease military activities as ordered by the Company. Rebellions of 1837 During the Rebellions of 1837, Dunlop formed and commanded the Huron Regiment in Upper Canada nicknamed The Bloody Useless. The rebellion was short-lived and led by the radicals fighting for responsible government. The Huron Regiment consisted of approximately 600 men with primitive arms and few resources. The regiment was made up of Colborne men with the surrounding townships supplying many of the men. Dunlop drilled his men in Read's Tavern while scavenging for blankets, coats, boot
